Andrew Willcox Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Can anyone offer some guidance here - looking to replace the clutch arm pivot in my Type 9 gearbox housing after rebuild but the part supplied by redline and available on the Caterham Parts / Burton Power websites are a different design. The replacement parts supplied don’t appear interchangeable as it is a different diameter, the current one also appears a better design if I can source. I assume mine is worn and needs replacing, can anyone point me in the direction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_h Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I’ve only ever seen the one with the large flat area fitted. Available from https://westfield-sportscars.co.uk/shop/3249004-clutch-release-arm-piviot-pin-7549?page=43#attr= it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Willcox Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 Simon, thanks that looks like the part! So looks like my clutch was upgraded to Westfield standard… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_h Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 That’s the same part I’ve seen on any caterham bellhousing I’ve had looking at it. Looks like the one I got in the bellhousing direct from Titan one time and they supplied the factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I’m sure the build manual said to slip a bit of washer tube over it to help with rattles?! Interestingly, my build manual shows a thicker version for the 6 speed box which is no longer to be found anywhere (I posted about this a few years ago). Anyway, the 6sp works fine with the above style pivot. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian The Assembly Guide (Nov 1996) for my old 1999 1.8K shows this for the pivot pin and sleeve (5/6-speed box): JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtBuddha Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Mine needed replacement too and I couldn't find one anywhere. I took the bell housing to my local agricultural engineers/machine shop and they extracted the old one and made a new one and fitted it for the price of a few beers.

NoisyBDR Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) I replaced mine with this from Burton and is great but a bit tricky calculating the spacers. I put a hole in the top of the bellhousing for bleeding pipe and made a plate up to cover the side where the arm normally goes with for tapped holes in the bell housing for caphead screws. I got custom hoses made up at Merlin Motorsport as the normal ones from Burton didn't come with a banjo connector for the girling master cyclinder I also got from Burton. https://www.burtonpower.com/hydraulic-clutch-cylinder-nose-apc5.html Edited March 24 by NoisyBDR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamscotticus Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) Has anyone drilled through the pivot pin hole and and installed an adjustable height pivot bolt? I've heard of this but forgot what problem it was a solution for. It does have the benefit of not ejecting. Edited April 8 by Iamscotticus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
